about

Creation of the Birds is a tone poem based on the painting by Remedios Varo of the same name.

Varo’s painting depicts an anthropomorphic owl sitting at a desk drawing a series of birds with a musical brush. After being drawn, the birds are imbued with starlight refracted from a magnifying lens and come to life.

A look at the private life of an artist, the origins of inspiration, and an ode to the personalities of beautiful birds and the landscapes they inhabit. This fantastical exploration of the metamorphosis from an abstract idea to a finished artwork is in three movements - The Skylark, The Oystercatcher and The Blackbird.
